would you be offended

My dad passed away two and a half years ago. There was a huge list of great grandchildren so we chose to say that my dad was a dearly loved father, grandfather and great grandfather. The only names we put on were my brother, my sister and her 4 children and partners and me, my hubby and my eldest son and his wife and my youngest son and his partner.
We did the same when my mother in law diesd, I'd have been offended to have been left off the list of names.

Good evening,

Maybe it was the DiL who wrote the obituary on behalf of her husband. OH did both my mothers and my brothers on my behalf. She said I would write it all wrong with bad grammer etc.

Searching for someone on the BNA this evening brought up this clip in the Heywood Advertiser in 1964:

HENRY aged MO years. the nearly loved Ilusnand of the late Alice HARDMAN....

The actual notice is certainly more 'loving' of Henry

Insults is my great grandmothers Will, which names five children leaving estate to one and bequeathing sixty pounds to the other four.  She had six children but left my grandmother a widow with poor health and a four year old out.  No idea why.  Perhaps because she had contact with her fathers side of the family in New Zealand, her uncle and cousins.

Sometimes a slip is made when people are dealing with a death and particularly if it's a sudden, unexpected death.  When our son died we got together something to put into the obituary page and totally missed his paternal grandparents' names.  Just a slip but we were totally shocked and grieving and hopefully people would realise it wasn't intentional.  We would have been mortified if we weren't dealing with something so much worse in our lives.
